It’s come to our attention that Jihan Bowes-Little isn’t the only man to have tried leaving banking for an alternative, more creative career, before slinking back again.

As we reported earlier today, Bowes-Little left Goldman for LA in 2009, to make a career in hip hop. He returned to London last year, and now works at BlueCrest.

Tetsuya Ishikawa also worked at Goldman Sachs. He left in 2007 and wrote a scandalous book titled, ‘How I caused the credit crunch’ about a fictional banker’s adventures in brothels and ‘exclusive bars.’ In interviews accompanying the book’s launch, Ishikawa said he too frequented brothels and married a Brazilian lap dancer. He then wrote a succession of articles for the Guardian, where he was described as a freelance journalist, but late in 2009 Ishikawa returned to banking.
